Trundle Wheel 0Fd8Ba
1. **State the problem:**
Calculate the circumference of a trundle wheel with diameter 40 cm.
Calculate the length of the car park if the wheel rotates 85 times.
Calculate how many rotations the wheel makes to measure a 10 m line.
2. **Formula for circumference:**
The circumference $C$ of a circle is given by:
$$C = \pi d$$
where $d$ is the diameter.
3. **Calculate circumference:**
Given $d = 40$ cm,
$$C = \pi \times 40 = 40\pi \approx 125.66 \text{ cm}$$
Rounded to the nearest cm:
$$126 \text{ cm}$$
4. **Calculate length of car park:**
The wheel rotates 85 times, so total length $L$ is:
$$L = 85 \times C = 85 \times 125.66 = 10681.1 \text{ cm}$$
Convert to meters:
$$\frac{10681.1}{100} = 106.81 \text{ m}$$
Rounded to nearest meter:
$$107 \text{ m}$$
5. **Calculate rotations for 10 m line:**
Convert 10 m to cm:
$$10 \times 100 = 1000 \text{ cm}$$
Number of rotations $N$ is:
$$N = \frac{1000}{C} = \frac{1000}{125.66} \approx 7.96$$
Rounded to nearest whole number:
$$8$$
**Final answers:**
- Circumference: 126 cm
- Length of car park: 107 m
- Rotations for 10 m line: 8
